THE NEW CABINET,
A Compliments to the Democratic Masses
of the Great Northwest

of the Great Northwest
President Cleveland has sent to the
Senate the nomination of Lucius @, C.
Lamar. of Mississippi. to be Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
States; w. F. Villas, of Wisconsin. to
be Secretary of the Interior, and Don
N. Dickinson, of Michigan, to be POST
master-General.
The appointments, taken together.
again enforce the thought that the
Democratic party is the only National
party, the only party strong in the
confidence of the people of all parts of
the Union, and everywhere growing
daily stronger. When Mr.. Lamar was
appointed to the position of Secretary
of the Interior, from which he has
just been promoted, those warmest in
praise of his abilities were Senators
Edmunds, Sherman and Hoar, his po-
litical opponents, who had served with
him in the Senate, and had learned to
respect his powerful intellect and
strong grasp of the subjects to which
he turned his mind. Against such
a character as his. and against such
abilities. the mean. snarling words of
anonymous scribblers avail little. The
breastworks ''behind which James G.
Blaine always rose, musket in hand
to quote Senator Edmunds-will
doubtless open fire on him. but men
of intelligence, in every party. viii ap-
plaud the appointment of an incor-
ruptible, able man to this highest
place within the Presidents gift.
Postmaster-General Villas, who is
transferred to q more congenial de-
partment. and Don III. Dickinson,
chosen to succeed him, are types of the
vigorous manhood that has developed
the Northwest and is drawing to it the
younger life of older States and many
of our self-sustaIning immigrants.
The Northwest is already growing
weary of paying largess to Pennsyl-
wanna, and the recognition of these two
typical Northwestern Democrats will
hasten the day when that part of the
country will furnish its quota to the
augmenting National Democratic
electoral column. Argus.

An Omaha lawyer took diamond

of grand larceny. On his way to
luncheon he slipped into a jewelry
store TO ask what the diamond was
worth. and the jeweler identified the
ring as one that had been stolen from
him.

And be adds that
Under the former orders IAN action Of the
Interior Department this has been done for
tho benefit Of railroad corporation having
no fixed, certain or definite interests In such
lands. In this manner the bcncfcent policy
and intention Of tho government IN relation
to tho public domain have for all these years
been thwarted. After the lapse Of seventeen
years this largo body Of the public domain
Is still held In reserve, to the exclusion Of
settlers, for the convenience of n corporate
beneficiary Of tho government and awaiting
its selection, though 1t Is entirely certain
TINT much Of this reserved land can never
be honestly claimed by said corporation.
Our public domain is our national wealth;
